MADRID: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said on Saturday that the November 29 general election will show that Spain is governed from within, not from Washington, Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires or Moscow. He also pledged to resist the influence of the international far right.
Speaking at a campaign event in Tarragona, Sánchez defended his government’s foreign policy positions and its opposition to rising military spending. “On November 29, we will tell them with our votes that Spain is governed from Spain, not from Washington, not from Tel Aviv, not from Buenos Aires, not from Moscow,” he said. He added: “We will not allow our country to become a puppet of the international far right.”
The prime minister highlighted his government’s opposition to the war in Iran and what he called genocide in Gaza, and reaffirmed his support for a Palestinian state and for peaceful coexistence between Israel and Palestine. He also defended his decision to reject US President Donald Trump’s demand that countries allocate 5 percent of GDP to defense spending, saying Spain will continue to prioritize education, healthcare, social care and pensions.
Sánchez vowed to keep resisting the far right, describing Spain as a “beacon of light” that will continue to illuminate the world.
